Boating, drinking don't mix

Our nation’s waterways are second only to highways as the scene of accidental deaths, with hundreds occurring annually. The majority of those deaths and thousands of boating-related injuries involve alcohol use. To protect yourself, your family and friends, consider the following before taking the water: Research shows that three hours of normal boating exposure to noise, motion, sun, wind and glare produces a kind of "boater’s hypnosis" that can double reaction time. Alcohol, a depressant, decreases reaction time even more. Alcohol greatly intensifies the

A drinking person whose head is submerged may become so confused that he or she swims down to death rather than up to safety. Drinking beer or wine while boating is just as dangerous as drinking hard liquor. A 12-ounce beer, a five-ounce glass of wine or a I'4-ounce shot of 100-proof liquor all pack the same punch. If you must drink while boating, limit consumption to one drink (in the above-mentioned quantities) every 90 minutes to two hours and never drink on an empty stomach. Food helps slow
